Popis: Through ejection from its southern hemisphere, Enceladus is a dominant source of neutral gas and dust in Saturn’s inner magnetosphere. The interaction of the corotating plasma with the gas and dust modifies the plasma environment around Enceladus. We use 3‐D hybrid (kinetic ions, fluid electrons) simulations to examine the effects of gas and dust on the nature of the interaction region and use Cassini observations to constrain their properties.
